The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare and enchanting look at a bygone era. The professor, with his distinguished white beard and top hat, stands proudly at the center of the scene, his eyes fixed on the audience as he skillfully manipulates the intricate marionettes of Punch and Judy.
